Cucumbers aren’t at the top of my favorite veggies list. Sorry cukes! I mean, they’re okay and all, but not something I normally get super excited over. But this salad… ohhh this salad. Guys, I just said “ohhhh” when referring to a salad. And not just that, but a cucumber salad. That must tell you this one is pretty darn good! Even while I was photographing it I couldn’t help myself from repeatedly taste-testing! Cucumber Salad Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make this one!
How It’s MadeFirst, slice and soak your onion. Just place in in a container and cover it with cold water. Why do we do this? Soaking raw onion removes some of the bite, making it perfect for salads. In fact, I generally soak onions when I’m eating them raw, just like I did with my Greek salad and orzo salad.
Now make the dressing. Place the cashews, water, garlic, vinegar, and some salt into a food processor bowl, and blend it up until smooth.
Place your cucumbers into a bowl, along with dill and scallions. Drain your onions and add them as well. Pour the dressing over everything and toss the salad to coat all your veggies with the dressing.
Dig in right away, or chill the salad for later.
